Nod my Head - A Writing Guide for Wattpad Writers by Mindchalk

Do you find yourself writing he nodded, she shook her head, he shrugged, over and over again? It gets tedious, and doesn't help at all when it comes to pin pointing your character's actual emotions. So I've made a book using notes I've been collecting over a few years to help you chose an alternative way to show that your character is angry, or sad, etc, plus many other writing tips and resources. Doesn't, he blinked at his watch, read better than, he looked at his watch ? Doesn't, he slugged across the wet cement, read better than, he walked down the street slowly. Avoid the white room in your story and replace telling with showing to give your readers a much better experience. **** When Alice storms across the room instead of walks, we know she's angry. We're expecting suspense. We're waiting for the next action. Maybe she'l punch a wall? Shout at her friend? Much better than, Alice walked across the room angrily, which gives your reader nothing to imagine.

While not all is stuff I learned over the last five years, I will inject personal anecdotes and stories to make it less boring.

Various Monster Anime Girls x Male Reader Collection by JukoThe10-Tails

A collection of short stories that can be anywhere from 1 to 5, pages of monster girl versions of different anime girls from different anime's. There might be multiple versions of the same girl, but as a different monster girl, supernatural, or yokai. Example, you might see hinata as a vampire in one but then a succubus in another. Each story will have a brief summary of the setting and you. Anime examples: Naruto, one piece, bleach, Dragon Ball, rwby, my hero academia, fairy tail, etc * Rwby isn't an anime, but details. Also expect single, twin, triple, and harem romances, in different stories of course. They'll be organized by species. I know it's not necessary, but to keep things clean and organized. So the new ones will typically be at the bottom of their category, unless they are in parts. Then I'll just put the next part underneath the previous part, for clean reasons. I know others don't do this, put I can't help it. Without it, it looks way too messy for my liking. Also assume all the male readers are human, unless stated otherwise. So if you just see "male reader", they are a human. This counts if it has "vampire hunter" before "male reader", he's still human but if you see "vampire" before "male reader", "vampire male reader", then he's a vampire. Hope that clears anything up. I was too lazy to change it after writing some already. * Also, I'll add human in the brief summary of each chapter, just in case. * I'll also have a brief summary of my versions of these monster girls in each chapter, as they might change based on the setting, but they'll probably remain the same. * I do not own the series, settings, characters, images, etc. All rights go to their respective owners. I only own the stories, (Y/N) and his story and abilities. Disclaimer some stories may contain strong language, blood, nudity, ecchi themes and/or lemon.

Just Imagine It(Bnha x Op!Black!Reader) by deadly_sensation

A story where the reader shifts into My Hero Academia with a badass quirk. She catches the eye of quite a few people. Will she find love? Let's find out. I do not own Boku No Hero Academia nor the characters. Nor do I own any music or art I use I won't be following the anime plot verbatim, the MC of this fanfic is the reader after all. So plot will bend to the readers imagination. This fanfic is mostly an Isekai story to explore all types of fluffy and sour(🍋) scenarios, the fantasies that want to be lived out.

Prisimpad: A Guide to Wattpad, Writing, and Whatever by Prisim

I will no longer be updating this guide. I'm leaving it up in case it will continue to be helpful to anyone in the future. People have asked me writing tips, Wattpad tips, and whatever. This is some of that advice I give them. Keep in mind most of this is my opinion in addition to things other people have taught me to do and not to do. It is by no means 100% to be followed but only a guide to get you thinking. The beauty of writing is that there is no one correct answer. We each learn and adapt to our own personal styles.

I will however, veer off on tangents to answer questions or just because I want to, but I hope to be informative every time I do so. Cover image Copyright Misha Gerrick 2015 All Rights Reserved
